With spring on the horizon, you're not going to be able to hide your face underneath a scarf much longer, so it may be time to pay particular attention to your skin quality. According to GalTime.com, using a combination of concealer and moisturizing primer with your tube mascara and liquid eyeliner can create a dynamic look for the office or a night on the town.

Skin imperfections can begin to arise in your middle age, as well as the increased appearance of dark circles. Before you apply eye makeup, make sure to use a moisturizing solution like blinc eyeshadow primer. This product can help reduce the appearance of wrinkles, moisturize your skin and prevent your cosmetics from running or smudging.

Foundation is another go-to for middle-aged ladies, but be sure to consult a makeup expert to find the ideal match for your skin tone. You want your skin to have a natural glow that suits your complexion, so do your research when looking for the right product.

Your skin quality is just as important as that new shade of eyeshadow or lip color, so make sure your regimen is up to speed to give your skin a revitalized look.

With spring on the horizon, you'll soon be able to experiment with the many new trendy eye makeup hues and other products that are finally in-season. However, if you're looking for a functional everyday look you can combine with your tube mascara and liquid eyeliner, a brown smoky eye could be the perfect change of pace, according to AccessHollywood.com.

The beauty of the brown smoky eye is the ability to combine myriad hues like tan, bronze and brown to your liking. For instance, if you're looking for a simple way to jazz up your work attire, go heavy on the brown and use tan eye makeup to soften your look. On the other hand, if you're ready to hit the town, amping up the bronze with a bit of clear shimmer will create a stunning look that will attract plenty of attention.

Of course, when you're trying out a new eyeshadow, be sure to prep your skin with blinc eyeshadow primer. This handy cosmetic will prevent your makeup from running, smudging and creasing and can be removed at the end of the day with a bit of warm water and pressure.

Now that spring is on the horizon, fashion will begin a monumental shift away from the deeper hues of winter to the fun and cheery colors of the new season. When you're out shopping for new lipstick, tube mascara or that trendy new shade of eyeshadow, be sure to look at the makeup in varying light sources to see how it really pairs with your skin tone.

According to Glamour.com, various colors of lipstick is one of the easiest ways to fool yourself into buying the product that only looks great when you're in the store but may look questionable when you leave. A good rule of thumb when picking out a bright shade of lipstick is to apply a bit onto the back of your hand and then step out into the sunlight. This will give you a better indication of what it will look like under natural lighting conditions.

This also pertains to eyeshadow, which could look one way beneath the subtle department store lights and quite differently in your bathroom. Before you commit to a shade, take a few samples home and try them out - this will give you a much better idea of which product will work for you.

Makeup can sometimes be a huge investment, so make sure your next purchase is one that you can live with for a long time.

New York Fashion Week is one of the most glamorous events of the year, and many of the featured styles on the runway find their way into department stores soon after. According to Allure.com, no look is hotter right now than emerald green eyeshadow, which could be a fabulous choice for fashionistas who still plan to wear plenty of winter clothing in the spring.

Renowned fashion designer Jason Wu used the cosmetics during his portion of the fashion show, and he put his own twist on the style. Along with a heavy coat of emerald eyeshadow on his model's upper lids, he opted for the winged eyeliner look by using a slightly darker shade of green around the ladies' brow bones to create an dazzling accent.

One of the best ways to make this look work for you is to pair it with liquid eyeliner for added definition, as well as prepping your skin with eyeshadow primer. This can help to prevent any creasing or smudging throughout the day and will moisturize your skin in the process. Finish with a bit of tube mascara and you'll be ready to face the day.

If you're diligent about anti-aging products and are constantly looking for ways to boost your skin's youthfulness, you're probably focusing on your eyes. After all, these features are what most people look at when they're talking to you, so they need to appear their best. While heated eyelash curlers and tube mascaras can help to make your eyes seem wider and more awake, it's eyeshadow primer than can really help, reports Allure Magazine.

A tiny bit of eyeshadow primer placed on your eyelids before you apply shadow not only makes it last all day (no matter what), but it can help smooth out fine lines and wrinkles that might make your makeup prone to smudging and creasing. This is much better than using a greasy cream to prep your lids.

"I see women put eye cream on their lids in the hopes of smoothing out their lines," one makeup artist told the source. "But all it does is make all the eye makeup bleed and turn into a hot mess."

Instead, use blinc's fountain of youthful color™ eyeshadow primer. This product conceals and fills out any lines and wrinkles you might have, making your shadow glide on smoothly and evenly. With added anti-aging ingredients, you can also expect to notice a decrease in those lines and an increase in your skin's hydration.
